Looking to purchase a new precision rifle, advice please?

[Copper818]

Hello SH,

Been doing some research and think I’ve narrowed it down to three offerings as of now.

APO Saber M700 Snipers Hide in 6.5
BadRock South Fork in 6.5
MBA BA PM in 6.5

I’ve also been hearing about G.A. Precision PPR.

Any recommendations, Pros and Cons of either? Not familiar with actions but I know they are all pretty good from my limited research.

I’m looking to go target shooting, 100-200yrds on paper, and up to 1000Yrds+ to steel. Factory loads to start, and then hand loads after. If I missed anything please ask!

Budget is about $2000, maybe $2200 or so. I have a scope and 20moa mount, as well as a Atlas PRS bipod with QD mount.

What's your total budget for rifle, scope and mount?

 

[Copper818]

Oh crap. I forgot to add that. Let me edit the original post.

Any of those will do what you want.
I would lean to one of the "semi-custom" rifles as the APO Sabre is nothing but a remington 700 in a chassis.

All have great reviews here on the Hide. Can't go wrong with any of these, except...

the GAP PPR: the production run sold out immediately, and it didn't come in 6.5CM.

Hopefully they do this again real soon... but they'll sell out immediately, again...

Is 300PRC worth a look? I do love 300wm.

Now you’ll get the 7mmRemMag guys on here wound up!

Recoil impulse from the 300PRC is big. Supposedly designed for 3,000 yd combat sniping.

You could get a barreled action and chassis to build a budget custom

i hear that recommended a Lot but I personally don’t have the confidence to build one. I guess a barreled action isn’t bad as long as I don’t need to deal with heads pacing, etc.

what would you recommend?

You can do a KRG bravo with either a Bighorn Origins if you want a Remington footprint or the defecto from ultimatum precision which is a tikka T3 footprint but takes 700 triggers and I believe barrels as well. I know there are a few smiths doing the origins but I just suggested PVA because I have personally experience with them and it’s the barreled action I picked up last year.
